No Stefani style watch is complete without a red-lip lesson. It’s her ultimate trademark, and any true Gwen-fan should know how to rock it. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Smooth on lip balm and let it sit while you do your other makeup. (It plumps lips and makes them smoother.)



Step 2: Then line your mouth with a lip-colored pencil. The neutral shade is less harsh than red, and it won’t show as your lipstick fades off.



Step 3: Next, apply your red lipstick with a lip brush. Surratt recommends Mac Russian Red, $14, a blue-red shade like Stefani wears.



Step 4: As a final touch, trace your mouth with concealer using a thin brush. (Apply it to the skin just outside your lipline, not on your lipline.) “It acts like a fence to prevent the color from bleeding and it gives red lips a perfect, ladylike crispness,” Surratt says.
